[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]West Springfield has over 2800 kids but they are proposing to kick kids out of Edison because they think Lewis needs more kids?  Pathetic. [/quote]

Edison is already at capacity and there are new housing developments being built literally within walking distance at the old Top Golf and the old local government building. They are going to have to do something about capacity there in the next 5 years and the Bryn Mar Park option seems like a pretty solid solution. [/quote]

Uh huh.  Because that POS facilities guy who went to West Springfield (Platenberg) made sure West Springfield got a much bigger expansion than Edison when they were renovated within years of one another?

Move BMP to Lewis and then both Edison and Lewis will have 1800-1850 kids while West Springfield is closer to 2800.

Okay.  But…. WSHS doesn’t feel over crowded and it isn’t a growth area. Projections have it growing by 1 student.  Would you pull kids out and then have WSHS be an empty building? AT this point, you can’t really

I think the commute to Lewis sucks from everywhere but that immediate community.  No one wants to trudge through the mixing bowl to attend events or have their new driver driving there.  It needs a different solution, and or a huge renovation to make it more appealing.

Instead the board is offering sky view on the other side of the county.  I hope one of the members creates a bond to make Lewis upgraded and appealing. Maybe more the academies out of Edison and make Lewis academy only so kids and buses are in after rush hour and out before rush hour.

PS- the WSHS principal is out on medical leave.  I hope he recovers fully and quickly.[/quote]
